You have taken in NOTHING that was said in your own fucking thread.
"Atheist values lead to nihilism". Are you shitting me ?

did you actually watch the video Bucky?

I did. It's complete crap.

Insufferable know-it-all. God has a plan for us. Please stop screwing it up with your prayers.

Saying that atheism leads to nihilism is akin to saying that conservatism leads to fascism. Or that liberalism leads to communism. It is a moronic reductionist argument that oversimplifies things to make a preconceived conclusion work.

Some might call such tactics, dishonest. But you be dishonest? NEVER!!!! (/sarcasmfont)

Atheism =/= nihilism, only in the way that atheism =/= consistent beliefs.

And I should say while many atheists like to include non-self identifying atheists into their folds, like buddhist and such, the sort the video, and others here are tending to highlight are atheist who are also ontological naturalist. They typically hold a view that rejects God beliefs, and attempts to reject any of its varies implications. It's the only form of atheism that is an actual contender to theism.

You can sit here and say how about those atheists that don't subscribe to ontological naturalism, but no one really cares to pay them any mind, and they're fairly non-existent in these debates.
